ECONOCARIBE CONSOLIDATORS, Inc., a leading consolidator in Jamaica for 34 years, recently commenced a weekly consolidation service from New Jersey to Kingston, Jamaica. The local agent is Freight Handlers Limited.
According to Hans Schnoor, Liaison for Kingston at Econocaribe, "Our cargo volumes have justified our commitment to weekly LCL service from the Northeast". LCL cargo from the Northeast will now benefit from less handling and a faster transit time to Kingston. The transit to Kingston from Gloucester, New Jersey is approximately seven days versus 11 days over Miami, Florida, USA.
"Freight Handlers downloads our manifests via the Internet, organises documentation on weekends, offers a priority notification service whereby clients can be notified in advance of the arrival of their shipments and is dedicated to customer service," Schnoor said.
New Jersey is a primary consolidation point for Econocaribe's Northeast Operations with direct LCL consolidations to Puerto Rico, Brazil, Dominican Republic and now Kingston, Jamaica. Econocaribe has strategically located terminals throughout its network to feed the primary gateway of Miami.
Founded in 1968, Econocaribe is the leading Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier to the Caribbean and Latin America offering AIR, FCL, and LCL services from the U.S.A., FCL's and LCL's from Canada plus LCL services from Europe and AIR and LCL services from the Far East to over 47 markets with their own consolidations.
